Cat Nap...Purrrrrr!
View allAll Photos Tagged nap
There was a feeding frenzy with a couple hundred American Avocets at Merritt Island NWR. This group of avocets must have had plenty to eat, because looking like one-legged hunting decoys, they closed their eyes to rest/nap after dinner.
These avocets are still sporting a winter plumage. After the next molt, their head and neck will show a cinnamon color, and their legs will become a bluish color.

Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated 👍

Chalcothraupis ruficervix ruficervix -Prévost & Des Murs, 1842- (Golden-naped tanager / Tangara nuquirrufa)
The golden-naped tanager is found in South America from Colombia to Bolivia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. Six subspecies are recognised.
Golden-naped tanagers have plumage similar to those of the metallic-green tanager, the swallow tanager and the blue-and-black tanager as adults of all three species are primarily blue with black facial masking, however, the golden-naped tanager is the only primarily blue tanager with a golden or reddish crown patch or nape.

Wikipedia: The black-naped oriole (Oriolus chinensis) is a passerine bird in the oriole family that is found in many parts of Asia. There are several distinctive populations within the wide distribution range of this species and in the past the slender-billed oriole (Oriolus tenuirostris) was included as a subspecies. Unlike the Indian golden oriole which only has a short and narrow eye-stripe, the black-naped oriole has the stripe broadening and joining at the back of the neck. Males and females are very similar although the wing lining of the female is more greenish. The bill is pink and is stouter than in the golden oriole.
Conservation status: Least Concern
All three caught within minutes napping in different places around the house...

Sombre hummingbird - one of the things I do love to see is hummingbirds taking quick naps. It's so cool. At Trilha dos Tucanos.
The Sombre Hummingbird is a large, dull hummingbird of eastern Brazil. It has a rather heavy, slightly decurved black bill, rather broad wings, and a large tail, features which have justified placement in the genus Campylopterus (sabrewings) in the past. It is dull iridescent green above and dusky below, with a very small white postocular spot. It inhabits forest edge and understory, where it feeds on nectar and aerial arthropods. Its nest is a cup of plant material placed on a horizontal branch. Birds of the World.
Wishing everyone a peaceful and restful weekend!

Galah (Eolophus roseicapillus)
This Galah was having a quick nap in the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands recently.
“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.”

After Dinner Nap Angel cat likes to lay in the sun, especially after he eats, it was a good day for him, shot in North Carolina.
The Chestnut-naped Antpitta is a typical ground-dwelling Grallaria, although it sings from a low perch, and which strongly prefers bamboo thickets in humid montane forest at 1900 to 3150 m. Its geographical range extends from north-central Colombia to northernmost Peru. As is typical of the Grallariidae, very little has been published to date concerning this species’ ecology, although the eggs have been described, and the Chestnut-naped Antpitta is presumably a fairly strict insectivore. Three species of the Chestnut-naped Antpitta are recognized and these differ principally in their crown colour and the intensity of the saturation to the underparts, although there are also some differences in their vocalizations. The basic plumage pattern, common to all three, is of gray underparts with a darker face, and rufous-brown upperparts, usually brightest and most rufescent over the crown and nape. doi.org/10.2173/bow.chnant1.01

Opportunity Naps Henry is a hard charging playful kitten, he wears out after a bit and sometimes just naps where he is, found in North Carolina.
Wikipedia: The black-naped oriole (Oriolus chinensis) is a passerine bird in the oriole family that is found in many parts of Asia. There are several distinctive populations within the wide distribution range of this species and in the past the slender-billed oriole (Oriolus tenuirostris) was included as a subspecies.
Subspecies diffusus breeds in eastern Siberia, Ussuriland, northeastern China, Korea and northern Vietnam and is widespread across India during winter, mainly in the northeastern parts and in the peninsular region and also found in Bangladesh. The population in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are resident. In winter, populations breeding in eastern Asia spend the winter in the tropical areas of Southeast Asia such as Thailand and Myanmar.

Pomerode Zoo in Santa Catarina, BR.
All the birds and animals in the zoo have no condition to go back to nature, for they get to the zoo via animal traffic or mistreatment, or they were already born in a zoo for being an endangered species that needs to be protected.
I do believe we'd all be better off if we followed the example of my buddy, Cooper. A mid-day nap or two is the best medicine. "Naps are a way of traveling painlessly through time into the future."

Another rainy day and the cats stayed indoors. Cleo took a long nap and dreamed of hibernation whereas the bored Tofu tried to entertain himself with his (many) toys. :)
Fynn is my perfect photo model, the only one who just wakes up from a nap, notices the camera and immediately is ready to smile. Cleo would put on her death stare and Linus simply wouldn't look at me at all.
Sorry for posting another photo of Fynn on the lawn. There is something about Fynn in the grass that always makes me point the camera at him.
